第2篇 英國副首相克萊格2022年猶太教逾越節(jié)英語演講稿

i want to wish jewish communities, within britain and around the world, a happy and peaceful passover.

this is a time when families and friends gather round the seder table to remember thestruggles of the jewish people to secure their freedom. every year, they tell this story to theirchildren so it is never forgotten.

and what this ancient journey shows us is the enduring power of people to overcome eventhe greatest of adversity and build a better future together. and, during this celebration, we’rereminded of all those people still suffering oppression, because of their religious beliefs, raceor creed.

that cannot be right and passover is a chance for all of us to commit ourselves again to helpingthose – of all faiths and none – who face persecution around the world.

it’s also an opportunity for us to recognise the contribution britain’s jewish communitiesmake to every area of our society.

thank you and chag sameach.

第3篇 英國女王伊麗莎白二世在德國總統(tǒng)府歡迎國宴上英語演講稿

mr president,

prince philip and i would like to thank you and frau schadt for the warm welcome you havegiven us at the start of our fifth state visit to germany. in the 50 years since our first visit, ourcountries have lived through many profound changes. i am very glad to record that one of theirreversible changes for the better in my lifetime has been in the relationship between theunited kingdom and germany.

mr president, it falls to a head of state to lead a nation in the marking of anniversaries. everymonth this year we commemorate either the centenary of a momentous event in the firstworld war; the 70th anniversary of a milestone at the end of the second world war; or, herein germany, 25 years of reunification following the fall of the wall which divided this city andthis nation for so long.

but, tonight, i would also like to cast back rather further in time. last week in a water-meadow by the river thames, i attended an event to celebrate the 800th anniversary of themagna carta. of course, in common with other events in our remote history, the precise factsof 1215 are disputed. the consequences of the agreement between king john and his barons,however, are not disputed: for the first time we established in england that no man should beabove the law and that individuals as well as rulers have rights. thus began the long, slow andinterrupted process of our country's evolution into a democracy.

tomorrow i shall visit st paul's church, where the first freely-elected legislature in germanymet in 1848. the frankfurt parliament turned out to be a false dawn; it took another centuryand the loss of the most terrible wars in history to set germany on the path of democracy.

earlier this year my cousins visited germany to mark with you, mr president, more recent andpainful anniversaries. the duke of kent visited dresden and the duke of gloucester visitedbergen-belsen. i myself shall visit bergen-belsen on friday. these visits underline the completereconciliation between our countries.

germany has reconciled with all her neighbours. i pay tribute to the work of the germanstatesmen since the second world war who reinvented germany and helped to rebuild europe.i met chancellor adenauer at windsor in 1958. he rejected the idea of a neutral germany,preferring to anchor germany in the west. his successors took up the challenge of unitinggermany as a member of all the institutions of europe and the west.

since 1945 the united kingdom has determined to number among germany's very strongestfriends in europe. in the intervening decades, britain and germany have achieved so much byworking together. i have every confidence that we will continue to do so in the years ahead.

since berlin and germany were reunited there has been much to celebrate. today i cruisedwith you, mr president, along the spree. i saw fewer cranes than when i was last here in 2022.but still the most magnificent element of berlin's skyline is the reichstag dome, an enduringreminder of our cultural cooperation. our work together includes every part of life, frompolitics to commerce, from industry to every aspect of the arts, in particular, music,museums and education.

we also saw a wonderful e_ample of partnership in education and science during our visit to thetechnical university this afternoon. the enthusiasm and interest our students and youngpeople have for each other's ideas and work is our greatest asset: the ne_t generation is at easewith itself and with contemporaries across europe in a way that was never the case before.

the united kingdom has always been closely involved in its continent. even when our mainfocus was elsewhere in the world, our people played a key part in europe. in the nineteenthcentury in the russian empire a welsh engineer called john hughes founded a mining townwhich is now donetsk in ukraine. and in the seventeenth century a scottish publican calledrichard cant moved his family to pomerania; his son moved further east to memel and hisgrandson then moved south to k?nigsberg, where richard's great-grandson, immanuel kant,was born.

in our lives, mr president, we have seen the worst but also the best of our continent. we havewitnessed how quickly things can change for the better. but we know that we must work hardto maintain the benefits of the post-war world. we know that division in europe is dangerousand that we must guard against it in the west as well as in the east of our continent. thatremains a common endeavour.

ladies and gentlemen, i ask you to rise and drink a toast to the president and the people ofgermany.

第4篇 英國首相卡梅倫在2022英國保守黨年會(huì)英語演講稿

this week in manchester we’veshown this party is on the side of hardworking people.

helping young people buy theirown home.

getting the long-term unemployedback to work.

freezing fuel duty.

backing marriage.

cutting the deficit.

creating jobs.

creating wealth.

make no mistake: it is this partywith the verve, energy and ideas to take our countryforward…

…and i want to thank everyonehere for the great week we’ve had.

when we came to office, we faceda clear and daunting task: to turn our country around.

in may 2022, the needle on thegauge was at crisis point.

people were talking about ourcountry in a way they had not done for decades.

but three and a half years later,we are beginning to turn the corner.

the deficit is falling.

our economy is growing.

the numbers of our fellowcountrymen and women in work are rising.

we are not there yet, not by along way.

but, my friends, we are on ourway.

i want to thank the people whohave done the most to get us this far.

you. the british people.

never giving up. working thosee_tra hours. coping with those necessary cuts.

you. british business. you keptpeople on in the hard times. invested before you knew forcertain that thingswere getting better.

together – we are clearing up themess that labour left.

but i have a simple question, tothe people in this hall and beyond it.

is that enough?

is it enough that we just clearup labour’s mess and think ‘job done’?

is it enough to just fi_ whatwent wrong?

i say – no. not for me.

this isn’t job done; it is jobbegun.

i didn’t come into politics justto fi_ what went wrong, but to build something right.

we in this party – we don’t dreamof deficits and decimal points and dry fiscal plans

…our dreams are about helpingpeople get on in life…

…aspiration, opportunity…

…these are our words, our dreams.

so today i want to talk about ourone, abiding mission…

…i believe it is the greatconservative mission…

… that as our economy starts torecover…

…we build a land of opportunityin our country today.

now, i know, it’ll be tough.

but i know we’ve got what ittakes in this party.

some people say “can’t be done” –conservatives say “what’s to stop us?”

they said we couldn’t getterrorists out of our own country.

well – theresa knew otherwise...

...and that’s why abu qatada hadhis very own may day this year...

…didn’t it feel good seeing himget on that plane?

some people said the nhs wasn’tsafe in our hands.

well – we knew otherwise.

who protected spending on thenhs? not labour – us.

who started the cancer drugsfund? not labour – us.

and by the way – who presidedover mid staffs…

…patients left for so longwithout water, they were drinking out of dirty vases...

...people’s grandparents lyingfilthy and unwashed for days.

who allowed that to happen? yes,it was labour...

...and don’t you dare lectureanyone on the nhs again.

and some people say a lot ofthings on europe.

you’ll never be able to veto aneu treaty.

you’ll never cut the budget.

and if you did these things–you’d have no allies in europe.

well we’ve proved them wrong.

i vetoed that treaty…

…i got britain out of the eubail-out scheme…

…and yes – i cut that budget.

and in doing all this, we haven’tlost respect – we’ve won allies to get powers back fromeurope.

that is what we will do...

...and at the end of it – yes –we will give the british people their say in a referendum.

that is our pledge. it will beyour choice: in or out.

britain in the world

and friends, you know whatsomeone said about us recently?

apparently some russian officialsaid: britain is “just a small island that no-one pays anyattention to.”

really?

let me just get this off mychest.

when the world wanted rights, whowrote magna carta?

when they wanted representation,who built the first parliament?

when they looked for compassion,who led the abolition of slavery?

when they searched for equality,who gave women the vote?

when their freedom was in peril,who offered blood, toil, tears and sweat?

and today – whose music do theydance to?

whose universities do they flockto?

whose football league do theywatch?

whose e_ample of tolerance…

…of people living together fromevery nation, every religion, young and old, straight andgay…

…whose e_ample do they aspire to?

i haven’t even got on to the factthat this small island beat russia in the olympics lastyear…

…or that the biggest-sellingvodka brand in the world isn’t russian, it’s british – smirnoff –made in fife…

...so yes, we may be a smallisland…

…but i tell you what, we’re agreat country.

but i want to make a seriouspoint about our place in the world.

following that vote on syria inthe house of commons, some people said it was time forbritain to re-think ourrole.

i’m sorry – but i don’t agree.

if we shrunk from the world wewould be less safe and less prosperous.

the role we play, theorganisations we belong to...

... and yes – the fact ourdefence budget remains the 4th largest in the world...

...all this is not about nationalvanity – it’s about our national interest.

when british citizens –ourfathers, mothers, daughters– are in danger...

...whether that’s in the desertsof algeria or the city of nairobi…

…then combatting internationalterrorism – it matters to us.

when five of the world’s fastestgrowing economies are african…

…then trading with africa – andyes helping africa to develop with aid – that matters to us.

and at the heart of all this work– the finest foreign secretary i could ask for: williamhague.

around the world, we really domatter as a united kingdom…

…england, wales, northern irelandand scotland.

the date of the referendum hasbeen set. the decision is for scotland to make.

all the arguments about oureconomy, jobs, currency – i believe they make an unanswerablecase for the uk.

but today i want a more simplemessage to go out to all the people of scotland.

from us here in this hall, fromme, from this party, from this country, from england, wales,northern ireland…

…and it’s this:

we want you to stay.

we want to stick together.

think of all we’ve achievedtogether – the things we can do together.

the nations – as one.

our kingdom – united.

for 12 years now, men and womenfrom all parts of these islands have been serving theircountry in afghanistan.

ne_t year, the last of our combattroops will be coming home...

...having trained up the afghansto look after their own country.

more than a decade of war.

sacrifice beyond measure – fromthe finest and bravest armed forces in the world.

and i want us to stand, to raisethe roof in here, to show just how proud of those men andwomen we are.

thatcher

we in this room are a team.

and this year, we said goodbye toone of our team.

margaret thatcher made ourcountry stand tall again, at home and abroad.

rescuing our economy. givingpower to our people. spreading home ownership. creatingwork. winning the coldwar. saving the falklands.

i asked her about her recordonce.

i was sitting ne_t to her at adinner – and i was really nervous.

as ever she was totally charming,she put me at ease...

...but after a while i said:“margaret, if you had your time in government again, is thereanything you’d dodifferently?”

and she turned to me and said:“you know, i think i did pretty well the first time around.”

well we can all agree with that –and we can all agree on this...

...she was the greatestpeace-time prime minister our country has ever had.

labour’s mess

margaret thatcher had an almightymess to clear up when she came to office…

…and so did we.

we will never forget what wefound.

the biggest budget deficit in ourpeace-time history.

the deepest recession since thesecond world war.

but it wasn’t just the debt anddeficit labour left…

…it was who got hurt.

millions coming here fromoverseas while millions of british people were left on welfare.

the richest paying lower ta_rates than their cleaners.

unsustainable, debt-fuelled banksbooming – while manufacturing withered away.

the north falling further behind.

towns where a quarter of peoplelived on benefits.

schools where 8 out of 10children didn’t get five decent gcses.

yes, they were famously“intensely rela_ed” about people getting filthy rich…

...but tragically, they were also“intensely rela_ed” about people staying stuck on welfareyear after year...

…“intensely rela_ed” aboutchildren leaving school without proper qualifications so theycouldn’t hope toget a job at the end of it.

that was it.

that was what they left.

the casino economy meets thewelfare society meets the broken education system...

…a country for the few built bythe so-called party of the many…

…and labour: we will never letyou forget it.

our mission

these past few years have been areal struggle.

but what people want to know nowis: was the struggle worth it?

and here’s the honest answer.

the struggle will only be worthit if we as a country finish the job we’ve started.

finishing the job meansunderstanding this.

our economy may be turning thecorner – and of course that’s great.

but we still haven’t finishedpaying for labour’s debt crisis.

if anyone thinks that’s over,done, dealt with - they’re living in a fantasy land.

this country’s debt crisis,created by labour, is not over.

after three years of cuts, westill have one of the biggest deficits in the world.

we are still spending more thanwe earn.

we still need to earn more andyes, our government still needs to spend less.

i see that labour have stoppedtalking about the debt crisis and now they talk about thecost of livingcrisis.

as if one wasn’t directly relatedto the other.

if you want to know what happensif you don’t deal with a debt crisis...

...and how it affects the cost ofliving...

...just go and ask the greeks.

so finishing the job meanssticking to our course until we’ve paid off all of labour’s deficit,not justsome of it.

and yes – let’s run a surplus sothat this time we fi_ the roof when the sun is shining...

...as george said in thatbrilliant speech on monday.

to abandon deficit reduction nowwould throw away all the progress we’ve made.

it would put us back to squareone.

unbelievably, that’s e_actly whatlabour now want to do.

how did they get us into thismess?

too much spending, too muchborrowing, too much debt.

and what did they propose lastweek?

more spending, more borrowing,more debt.

they have learned nothing –literally nothing – from the crisis they created.

but finishing the job is aboutmore than clearing up the mess we were left.

it means building somethingbetter in its place.

in place of the casino economy,one where people who work hard can actually get on.

in place of the welfare society,one where no individual is written off.

in place of the broken educationsystem, one that gives every child the chance to rise up andsucceed.

our economy, our society,welfare, schools…

...all reformed, all rebuilt -with one aim, one mission in mind:

to make this country, at longlast and for the first time ever, a land of opportunity for all.

for all.

so it makes no difference whetheryou live in the north or in the south, whether you’re blackor you’re white, aman or a woman, the school you went to, the background you have, whoyourparents were…

...what matters is the effort youput in, and if you put the effort in you’ll have the chance tomake it.

that’s what the land ofopportunity means.

that’s what finishing the jobmeans.

of course i know that others in politicsmay talk about these things.

but wishing for something, caringabout something - that’s not enough.

you can’t conjure up a dynamiceconomy, a strong society, fantastic schools all with thestroke of aminister’s pen.

it takes a mi_ture of hard work,common sense and – above all – the right values.

when the left say: you can’te_pect too much from the poorest kids; don’t ask too muchfrom people onwelfare; business is the problem, not the solution…

…here in this party we say:that’s just wrong.

if you e_pect nothing of peoplethat does nothing for them.

yes, you must help people – butyou help people by putting up ladders that they can climbthrough their ownefforts.

you don’t help children succeedby dumbing down education…

...you help them by pushing themhard.

good education is not aboutequality of outcomes but bringing the best out of every singlechild.

you don’t help people by leavingthem stuck on welfare…

...but by helping them stand ontheir own two feet.

why? because the best way out ofpoverty is work – and the dignity that brings.

we know that profit, wealthcreation, ta_ cuts, enterprise...

...these are not dirty, elitistwords – they’re not the problem...

...they really are the solutionbecause it’s not government that creates jobs, it’s businesses…

…it’s businesses that get wagesin people’s pockets, food on their tables, hope for theirfamilies and successfor our country.

there is no shortcut to a land ofopportunity. no quick fi_. no easy way to do it.

you build it business by business,school by school, person by person…

...patiently,practically, painstakingl

第5篇 英國副首相克萊格2022年世界艾滋病日英語演講稿

today, i’m wearing my red ribbon with pride for world aids day. in the last thirty years, since the first cases of hiv were discovered, we’ve travelled a huge distance in terms of research and treatment. not least because advances in medication now mean that, if diagnosed and treated early enough, people living with hiv can live just as long as people without it.

in the uk we’re committed to tackling the global impacts of this disease – the ambition hasto be a future with zero new infections and aids-related deaths. that’s why last year weinvested ￡1 billion in the global fund to fight aids, tb and malaria. this money is helpinghundreds of thousands of people around the world get lifesaving treatment.

but, of course, there is still a long way to go. and while the science has moved on, too manypeople’s attitudes have not. one in three people living with hiv say that they havee_perienced discrimination, because of their condition. that’s simply unacceptable. so, thisworld aids day, please visit hivaware.org.uk to get the facts about hiv and tell the people youknow.

it’s critical that people have the right information, and that the ne_t generation – throughgood se_ education – understand the facts. together, by wearing your red ribbon and tweetingyour support using the hashtag put a ribbon on it, we can help break down the stigma thatstill surrounds this condition and show that there’s just no place for this kind of discriminationin modern britain. so please get involved.

today, let’s all do our bit.

第6篇 英國副首相克萊格2022年國際婦女節(jié)英語演講稿

throughout my life, i’ve been inspired by the courage, success and determination of somany women - friends, family and colleagues.

international women’s day is a chance for all of us to shout loudly and together in supportof greater equality, wherever it’s needed. and, since 2022, the coalition has been focused onmaking britain a fairer society: where everyone – no matter what their gender, background orcircumstances, can succeed.

this includes introducing shared parental leave. so, from april ne_t year, mothers who wantto return to work early after having a baby can and their partners will be able to use theirremaining leave and pay. we’re improving access to affordable, high-quality childcare to helpthose families most feeling the squeeze.

and we’re also changing the pension system so that it is fairer for women, and haveintroduced a ta_ cut that’s helping put money back in the pockets of millions of women. inaddition, we’re working to get more women into the boardroom, and encouraging all thosefemale entrepreneurs with a good idea to start their own companies.

more widely, we are working across the world to ensure more women and girls have greaterchoice and control over their own lives. we’re helping to get more young girls into school,fighting to banish horrific practices such as female genital mutilation and working to improvewomen’s access to justice.

i’m determined to keep going further - both in my own party and in government.

that’s my commitment for this international women’s day and beyond. together, we canmake a difference – locally, nationally and globally – ensuring everyone has an equal shot at thehappy, healthy and successful life that they want.

第7篇 英國首相卡梅倫新年英語演講稿

it’s a new year – and for britain there can only be one new year’s resolution…

新的一年到來了，對(duì)英國人民來說我們只有一個(gè)新年目標(biāo)……

…to stick to the long-term plan that is turning our country around.

那就是堅(jiān)持長期計(jì)劃，讓英國走出經(jīng)濟(jì)低谷。

when we came to office, our economy was on its knees.

曾經(jīng)在我上臺(tái)的時(shí)候，我國的經(jīng)濟(jì)幾乎處于癱瘓狀態(tài)。

three and a half years later, we are turning a corner.

三年半之后的今天，我們正處在一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)。

we see it in the businesses that are opening up, the people who are getting decent jobs, the factories that are making british goods and selling them to the world again.

企業(yè)拓展著新的業(yè)務(wù)，人們逐漸都找到體面的工作，生產(chǎn)英國產(chǎn)品的工廠恢復(fù)其世界市場的銷售，這些都能夠讓我們看到經(jīng)濟(jì)轉(zhuǎn)折的趨勢。

the plan is working.

我們的計(jì)劃起作用了。

that’s why this year, 2022, we are not just going to stick to the plan – we are going to re-double our efforts to deliver every part of it, to benefit the whole country and secure a better future for everyone.

這就是為什么，在新的一年我們不僅僅要堅(jiān)持這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃，我們要付出雙倍的努力來實(shí)現(xiàn)計(jì)劃的每一個(gè)部分，為整個(gè)國家謀福利，為每一位國民創(chuàng)造一個(gè)更美好的未來。

we’ll continue with the vital work on the deficit.

我們將繼續(xù)重視解決赤字問題。

we’ve reduced it by a third already…

我們已經(jīng)將赤字問題減少了三分之一……

…and this year we will continue that difficult work, to safeguard our economy for the long-term, to keep mortgage rates low and to help families across britain.

……今年我們將繼續(xù)進(jìn)行這項(xiàng)艱難的工作，以保證長期的經(jīng)濟(jì)安全，保持低水平的抵押貸款利率，幫助全英國的家庭。

we’re going to keep on doing everything possible to help hardworking people feel financially secure…

我們將繼續(xù)盡最大努力，幫助勤勞的人們獲得財(cái)產(chǎn)安全感……

…cutting income ta_es and freezing fuel duty.

……削減收入所得稅，凍結(jié)燃料稅。

we’ll keep on working even harder to create more jobs, whether that’s through investment in our roads and railways, lower jobs ta_es, or more help for britain’s amazing small businesses.

我們將更加努力，通過各種方式創(chuàng)造更多的工作機(jī)會(huì)，如進(jìn)行公路鐵路投資、降低工作稅收，或者鼓勵(lì)支持英國出色的小型企業(yè)。

those who run our small businesses are heroes and heroines, they are the backbone of our economy and we are supporting them every step of the way.

小型企業(yè)的運(yùn)營者是我們的國民英雄，是我國經(jīng)濟(jì)的支柱。在小型企業(yè)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的每一步驟，我們都會(huì)給予大力支持。

we are going to keep on with our vital work on welfare and immigration too.

我們也會(huì)繼續(xù)福利和移民方面的重要工作。

we’ve already capped welfare and cut immigration…

我們已經(jīng)限制福利和移民數(shù)量……

……今年，我們會(huì)繼續(xù)為那些努力工作、遵守規(guī)則的人們創(chuàng)建更好的經(jīng)濟(jì)條件。

and last but not least – we’re going to keep on delivering the best schools and skills for our children and young people…

最后，我們將繼續(xù)為孩子們及年輕人提供最好的學(xué)校和技能，這一點(diǎn)至關(guān)重要……

…so that when they leave education they have a real chance to get on in life.

……這樣，在他們結(jié)束教育的時(shí)候，就能真正擁有開啟新生活的機(jī)會(huì)。

so this is a vital year for our economy.

總之，今年對(duì)我國經(jīng)濟(jì)來說是非常重要的一年。

and 2022 is also an important date in the history of the united kingdom.

第8篇 英國首相卡梅倫在聯(lián)合國氣候峰會(huì)英語演講稿

climate change is one of the most serious threats facing our world. and it is not just a threat to the environment. it is also a threat to our national security, to global security, to poverty eradication and to economic prosperity.

and we must agree a global deal in paris ne_t year. we simply cannot put this off any longer.

and i pay tribute to secretary general ban for bringing everyone together here today and forputting real focus on this issue.

now my country, the united kingdom, is playing its part.

in fact, it was margaret thatcher who was one of the first world leaders to demand action onclimate change, right here at the united nations 25 years ago.

now since then, the uk has cut greenhouse gas emissions by one quarter. we have createdthe world’s first climate change act. and as prime minister, i pledged that the government ilead would be the greenest government ever. and i believe we’ve kept that promise.

we’ve more than doubled our capacity in renewable electricity in the last 4 years alone. wenow have enough solar to power almost a million uk homes. we have the world’s leadingfinancial centre in carbon trading. and we have established the world’s first green investmentbank. we’ve invested ￡1 billion in carbon capture and storage. and we’ve said no to any newcoal without carbon capture and storage. we are investing in all forms of lower carbon energyincluding shale gas and nuclear, with the first new nuclear plant coming on stream for ageneration.

now, as a result of all that we are doing, we are on track to cut emissions by 80 per cent by2050. and we are playing our role internationally as well, providing nearly ￡4 billion of climatefinance over 5 years as part of our commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of our gross nationalincome on aid. and we are one of the only countries in the advanced world to do that and tomeet our promises.

we now need the whole world though to step up to deliver a new, ambitious, global dealwhich keeps the 2 degree goal within reach. i’ll be pushing european union leaders to come toparis with an offer to cut emissions by at least 40 per cent by 2030.

we know from copenhagen that we are not just going to turn up in paris and reach a deal. weneed to work hard now to raise the level of ambition and to work through the difficult issues.to achieve a deal we need all countries, all countries to make commitments to reduceemissions. our agreement has to be legally binding, with proper rules and targets to hold eachother to account.

we must provide support to those who need it, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable.it is completely unrealistic to e_pect developing countries to forgo the high carbon route togrowth that so many western countries enjoyed, unless we support them to achieve greengrowth. now, if we get this right there need not be a trade-off between economic growth andreducing carbon emissions.

we need to give business the certainty it needs to invest in low carbon. that means fightingagainst the economically and environmentally perverse fossil fuel subsidies which distort freemarkets and rip off ta_payers. it means championing green free trade, slashing tariffs on thingslike solar panels. and it means giving business the fle_ibility to pick the right technologies fortheir needs.

in short we need a framework built on green growth not green tape.

as political leaders we have a duty to think long-term. when offered clear scientific advice, weshould listen to it. when faced with risks, we should insure against them. and when presentedwith an opportunity to safeguard the long-term future of our planet and our people, weshould seize it.

so i would implore everyone to seize this opportunity over the coming year. countries likethe united kingdom have taken the steps necessary. we’ve legislated. we’ve acted. we’veinvested. and i urge other countries to take the steps that they need to as well so we can reachthis historic deal.

thank you.

第9篇 英國工黨領(lǐng)袖米利班德辭職英語演講稿

thank you for your kindness, friends. friends, this is not the speech i wanted to give today because i believe that britain needed a labour government. i still do, but the public voted otherwise last night. earlier today, i rang david cameron to congratulate him. i take absolute and total responsibility for the result and our defeat at this election.

i am so sorry for all of those colleagues who lost their seats. ed balls, jim murphy, margaretcurran, douglas ale_ander, and all the mps and indeed candidates who were defeated. they arefriends, colleagues, and standard bearers for our party. they always have been, and they alwayswill be.

i also want to congratulate all our candidates who were elected yesterday and who will helptake our party forward as well.

i want to thank those people who ran our campaign. it was the most united, cohesive, andenjoyable campaign i’ve ever been involved in. i want to thank douglas ale_ander, lucypowell, spencer livermore, and most of all, all of you, the incredible team at the labour party.

and i also today want to thank the incredible team of labour party members, activists, and allthose people who’ve pounded the streets over the past months.

friends: britain needs a strong labour party. britain needs a labour party that can rebuild afterthis defeat so we can have a government that stands up for working people again. and now it’stime for someone else to take forward the leadership of this party, so i’m tendering myresignation taking effect after this afternoon’s commemoration of ve day at the cenotaph. iwant to do so straight away because the party needs to have an open and honest debate aboutthe right way forward without constraint.

let me say that harriet harman is the best deputy leader that anyone could hope for. i workedfor her more than 20 years ago, i am proud to have had her as my deputy for my term ofleadership.

she will take over until a new leader is elected. for me, i’m looking forward to reacquaintingmyself with justine, daniel, and sam. but before i do, i want to say a few things. first of all,thank you to the british people. thank you to the people who’ve met me on train stations andcolleges, in workplaces and schools. thank you for sharing your stories with me, i have learnt somuch for you.

it has been an enormous privilege. thank you for the selfies, thank you for the support, andthank you for the most unlikely cult of the 21st century, milifandom.

second, i want to address those who voted labour yesterday. today you’ll feel disappointed,even bleak, but while we may have lost the election, the argument of our campaign will notgo away; the issue of our unequal country will not go away. this is the challenge of our time,the fight goes on, and whoever is our new leader, i know labour will keep making the case for acountry that works for working people once again.

third, i believe in our united kingdom, not just because it is our country, but because it is thebest way of serving the working people of our country. you know, i believe that there is morethat unites us than divides us across the whole united kingdom and all of us in the months andyears ahead must rise to the challenge of keeping our country together.

finally, i want to say something to my party. thank you to you. thank you for the privilege. ijoined this party at 17. i never dreamed i would lead it. it has been an incredible force forprogress from workers’ rights to the nhs to the minimum wage.

no other party in british politics can boast these achievements and yes, it will be a force forprogress and change once again. and to all the labour party members, you’re the most loyal,supportive, amazing people, i thank all of you today. i am truly sorry i did not succeed. i havedone my best for nearly five years.

now you need to show your responsibility. your responsibility: not simply to mourn our defeatbut to pick yourself up and continue the fight. we’ve come back before and this party will comeback again.

and if i may, i say to everyone in our party: conduct this leadership election with the samedecency, civility, and comradeship that we believe is the way the country should be run.

i believe i have brought a culture to this party, an ability to have disagreement without beingdisagreeable. i urge everyone to keep this in mind in the months ahead.

finally, i want to say this. the course of progress and social justice is never simple orstraightforward. change happens because people don’t give up, they don’t take no for ananswer, they keep demanding change.

this is my faith: where we see injustice, we must tackle it. in a couple of hours i will no longerbe leading this party, but you see, for me, that has never been the only way to achievechange, because i believe it isn’t simply leaders who achieve change, it is people who makechange happen. i will never give up on that idea, i will never give up on that cause, i will nevergive up on fighting for the britain i believe in.

that faith will always be my faith, that fight will always be my fight, that cause will always bemy cause – and i will always be there in that cause with all of you. thank you very much.

第10篇 英國首相卡梅倫2022年錫克教豐收節(jié)英語演講稿

i send my best wishes to everyone in india, britain and around the world celebrating vaisakhi.

i know this is an incredibly important time for the sikh community as families and friendscome together to commemorate the birth of the khalsa and give thanks. from southall tosunderland, from ottawa to amritsar, sikhs around the world will be marking vaisakhi withvibrant parades and celebrations with homes, gurdwaras and entire neighbourhoods burstinginto life with decorations and colour.

vaisakhi also gives us a chance to celebrate the immense contribution of british sikhs, whohave enriched our country for over 160 years. whether it is in the fields of enterprise orbusiness, education, public service or civil society, britain’s sikhs are a success story and modelcommunity.

and i see this contribution every day, all around. like at the magnificent gurdwara sahibleamington, where i saw for myself the values of sikhism – of compassion, peace and equality– in practice. and across the country i see how sikh and asian businessmen and women areboosting the economy by creating jobs and opportunities. but this contribution is not just arecent thing it goes back many, many years and was never more starkly demonstrated than 100years ago during the first world war.

just last month we commemorated the indian soldiers, many of whom were sikh, who foughtbravely alongside the allies in the battle of neuve chapelle in northern france. i pay tribute tothose men who travelled far from home and who fought and died with their comrades in thefight for freedom. we will never let their sacrifice be forgotten.

so at this important time, let us commemorate the birth of a great religion, let us give thanksfor everything the sikh community does for britain and let us celebrate the successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith democracy country that we are.

so wherever you are, i wish you all a very happy and peaceful vaisakhi.

第11篇 英國財(cái)政大臣奧斯本在長官邸年度銀行家宴會(huì)英語演講稿

my lord mayor, ladies and gentlemen, it is again an honour to attend this wonderful dinner and to speak to you as chancellor for the fifth time.

lord mayor, i remember coming here to mansion house, just weeks after the government wasformed in 2022 – with britain on the brink of an economic crisis – to give my first major speechon the task ahead.

i set out for you the economic plan we would follow, and i drew on the words winston churchillhad uttered in this very hall, to say that while britain could not pretend our travails were at anend, we were at least at the end of the beginning.

in the four years since, supported by the resolution and sacrifice of the british people, wehave worked through that plan.

now we are starting to see the results:

britain growing faster than any advanced economy in the world.

a record number of people in work.

now strong business investment on the back of low business ta_es.

and a budget deficit this year set to be half what it was.

last week, the imf said that our resolute fiscal policy had been in their words an ‘anchor forthe british economy’ that had maintained confidence and stability in the face of the storm.

and i want to say to the business and financial community: you did not waver; you stuck withus and i thank you.

but the task is far from complete; and there are many risks to the progress we have made.

abroad, the risks stem from the weak eurozone, unpredictable geopolitics and the slowdownin some emerging markets.

at home, our economy is still too unbalanced, so i am the first to say we need to continue ourefforts to boost business investment, e_ports and housing supply.

but the biggest risk comes from the tendency in parts of our body politics – the left and nowtoo the populist right – to wage a war on enterprise, regulate prices, propose penal ta_es,close britain to business and return to the old ways of borrow and spend.

we must win this battle.

and go on confronting britain’s problems with long term answers that will build an economy foreveryone.

so while i know this is my fifth speech to you as chancellor; i hope it is not my last.

for i want to finish the job.

lord mayor, tonight we are joined by someone attending their first mansion house dinner.

our governor of the bank of england.

mark, we all thank you for the integrity, intelligence and international reach you have broughtto the challenges of the last year.

and we look forward to what you have to say.

our 3 new deputy governors – jon cunliffe, ben broadbent and minouche shafik, together withandrew bailey, complete what i immodestly think is the strongest team of any central bank inthe world.

the court continues the oversight of the bank’s work, and at the end of this month anthonyhabgood will replace david lees as its chair.

david, thank you for helping steer the bank through the big reforms of recent years and theappointment of a new governor.

and thank you too to charlie bean for the 6 years he has given our nation as deputy governor.

we are lucky that one of our greatest economists has chosen to dedicate his life to publicservice for so long.

the bank of england now sits back where it belongs, at the heart of our financial system –supervising the prudential regulation of our banks and insurers, thanks to the reforms iannounced in my first speech here at the mansion house in 2022.

and in each speech since, i have set out new steps to strengthen the resilience of oureconomy and the financing that underpins it.

2022, ringfencing our retail banks

2022, launching funding for lending

last year, restructuring the royal bank of scotland and firing the starting gun on the sale ofour stake in lloyds.

it would be tempting this year, at the mansion house, to pause for breath.

but our task is far from complete – and today i will announce further changes to build thatresilient economy for all and the strong, competitive financial services that should contributeto it.

lord mayor, the city of london has emerged from the wreckage of what went so badly wrong,stronger and better regulated, more international and more responsive to the needs ofcustomers here at home.

our financial e_ports grew 10% last year, and our surplus in finance and insurance hasreached £45 billion – twice as much as our closest competitors.

we’ve welcomed to britain the headquarters of some of the world’s largest insurance firms.

and we have been chosen as the location for the international forum of the world’s sovereignwealth funds.

in my first mansion house speech, i said i wanted british financial firms and markets to be atthe heart of financing china’s e_traordinary e_pansion.

now two thirds of all renminbi payments outside of china and hong kong now take place inlondon.

chinese bonds are being issued here, chinese assets are being managed here, chinese bankswill be able to apply for branches here, a chinese clearing bank is soon to be appointed here -and ne_t week, when the chinese premier visits, we will take the ne_t big step forward in theeconomic partnership of our two great, historic trading nations.

i can also confirm tonight our intention in the ne_t few weeks, subject to market conditions,for britain to be the first western nation to issue a sovereign sukuk – an islamic bond.

for i want britain to be not just the western hub of chinese finance – but of islamic financetoo.

it is with these active steps that together we are making britain the undisputed centre of theglobal financial system.

but all this can so easily be put at risk.

by badly-conceived eu rules that only reinforce the case for reform in europe.

by populist proposals for self-defeating bonus ta_es and punitive income ta_ rates.

and by the potential break up of our nation.

edinburgh is even stronger as a world-renowned centre for asset management because it ispart of a united kingdom that is a world-renowned centre of finance.

and let us hope it remains so, for we are better together.

we should be candid tonight about another risk.

the risk that scandals on our trading floors call into question the integrity of our financialmarkets.

people should know that when they trade in london, whether in commodities or currencies orfi_ed income instruments, that they are trading in markets that are fair and effective.

the revelations about the manipulation of libor added further damage to reputation offinancial services, here and abroad.

in britain, thanks to the leadership of martin wheatley and andrew tyrie, we acted swiftly topunish the wrongdoers and fi_ the system.

let us not wait for the ne_t wave of scandals in financial markets to hit us before we respond.

the integrity of these markets matters to us. london is home to 40% of the global foreigne_change business; 45% of over-the-counter derivatives trading; and 70% of trading ininternational bonds. and mark carney and i intend to keep it that way.

so today i can announce that the treasury, the bank of england and the financial conductauthority will conduct a comprehensive review of standards in our fi_ed income, currency andcommodity markets.

the fair and effective markets review will be chaired by the new deputy governor, and formerdeputy managing director of the imf, minouche shafik – and she will be joined by martinwheatley and charles ro_burgh.

this review must work closely with industry. so i am establishing a panel of marketpractitioners, chaired by elizabeth corley, chief e_ecutive of allianz global investors.

the review will produce its report in a year’s time.

and some of its recommendations may require international agreement.

in the meantime, we will act here at home.

i am today announcing that we will e_tend the new powers we put in place to regulate liborto cover further major benchmarks across foreign e_change, commodity and fi_ed incomemarkets – many of which are currently entirely unregulated.

based on the review’s conclusions we will publish and consult on the full list of benchmarks tobe covered by this autumn, and we will have the new regime in place by the end of the year.

i am also e_tending the senior managers regime to cover all banks that operate in thiscountry, including the branches of foreign banks.

and i can also announce that we will introduce tough new domestic criminal offences formarket abuse, rather than opt into european rules we do not think suitable or sufficient forour needs.

for let me make this clear, so no one is in any doubt.

the integrity of the city matters to the economy of britain.

markets here set the interest rates for people’s mortgages, the e_change rates for our e_portsand holidays, and the commodity prices for the goods we buy.

i am going to deal with abuses, tackle the unacceptable behaviour of the few, and ensure thatmarkets are fair for the many who depend on them.

we’re not going to wait for more scandals to hit– instead we are going to act now, and getahead.ladies and gentlemen,

robust financial markets are an important part of building a resilient economy.

but tonight, i want to address another market which can create a risk to britain’s economicstability and prosperity.

not a new risk, but an old and very familiar one to us in this country – and that’s our housingmarket.

the challenge is that we want several things which don’t sit comfortably together.

for most people, their home is the biggest investment of their lifetime. and, of course, theywant that asset to increase in value over time.

but a home is also a place to live and build our lives – and we want all families to be able toafford security, comfort and peace of mind. that means homes have to be affordable –whether you’re renting or buying.

the only way that can be achieved over the long term is by building more, so supply bettermatches demand.

but we are a small and crowded island, keen to protect our green spaces and ready to objectto new development.

so the british people want our homes to go up in value, but also remain affordable; and wewant more homes built, just not ne_t to us.

you can see why no one has managed yet to solve the problems of britain’s housing market.

instead we have the repeated cycle of financial instability driven by high household debt; andwe see the social injustice of millions of families denied good homes.

but that should not deter our generation from trying to fi_ the housing challenge – for theprice of failure is too high.

so my message today is this.

as chancellor, i have never shied away from confronting britain’s problems.

the housing market is no e_ception.

i’m determined to back aspiration in every way i can, including the aspiration to own yourown home.

but i’m not going to opt for the easy route of some of my recent predecessors: duck the issues,risk a housing boom, and keep my fingers crossed that it won’t damage the economy.

so no irresponsible gambles with stability; no short-term fi_es.

housing is a long term problem – and our economic plan will provide long term answers.

here’s how.

first, we have to be clear-eyed about where the risks to economic stability lie today.

the risks come when people borrow too much to pay for rising house prices.

in e_cess, that debt can cause serious difficulties for them and the banks who lent to them.

and it can cause difficulties for the economy as a whole if an overhang of debt suppressesconsumer spending.

now, today, house prices are still lower in real terms than they were in 2022 – and are forecastto stay below that peak for some years to come.

at the same time debt-servicing costs remain at near record lows and rental yields are in linewith long term trends.

so there is no immediate cause for alarm.

indeed the most recent data shows that mortgage approvals have actually slowed in the lastcouple of months.

but we need to be vigilant.

for there are on the horizon things that should give us some causes for concern.

if london prices were to continue growing at these rates that would be too fast for comfort.

and the rate of price rises is now beginning to spread beyond london. across the country, theratio of house prices to incomes is high by historical standards.

and while average loan to value ratios for new lending are still well below normal, average loanto income ratios have risen to new highs.

let me spell it out: does the housing market pose an immediate threat to financial stabilitytoday? no, it doesn’t.

could it in the future? yes, it could, especially if we don’t learn the lessons of the past.

so we act now to insure ourselves against future problems before they can materialise.

because economic security comes first.

the first challenge is to be clear about the issue, and we are.

the second is to act on it.

when i spoke to you in 2022, i said one of the weaknesses of the system of financialregulation i’d inherited was that no one was looking for broader risks across the economy, inareas like housing.

so no one saw the rising debt levels – or had the tools to do anything about them.

i have changed that.

the new financial policy committee in the bank of england has been given the authority andthe macro-prudential tools to act.

they have also insisted on the toughest stress tests for our banks, so that this time round theycan withstand the worst.

before christmas, the bank acted with the treasury to refocus the funding for lendingscheme away from mortgages towards small business lending.

and earlier this year, our regulators put much more rigorous mortgage standards in place.

these are all important steps.

the fpc already have further tools in their armoury. but today we go further.

i want to make sure that the bank of england has all the weapons it needs to guard againstrisks in the housing market.

i want to protect those who own homes, protect those who aspire to own a home, and protectthe millions who suffer when boom turns to bust.

so today, i am giving the bank new powers over mortgages including over the size ofmortgage loans as a share of family incomes or the value of the house.

in other words, if the bank of england thinks some borrowers are being offered e_cessiveamounts of debt, they can limit the proportion of high loan to income mortgages each bankcan lend, or even ban all new lending above a specific loan to income ratio.

and if they really think a dangerous housing bubble is developing, they will be able to imposesimilar caps on loan to value ratios – as they do in places like hong kong.

it’s important that decisions to use these powerful tools are made independently of politics bythe bank of england.

we saw from the last crisis the dangerous temptations for politicians to leave the punch bowlwhere it is and keep the party going on too long. and just in case there is any doubt.

i say today, very clearly: the bank of england should not hesitate to use these new powers ifthey think it necessary to protect financial stability.

and i commit that while the bank and the treasury will need to design how these powers willwork in detail, and will want to consult on them, i will make sure that they are legislated forand in place before the end of the parliament.

and i also commit today that if the bank does act in future to limit mortgage lending then thesame rules will be applied to every single help to buy mortgage.

i know that some would take a more ideological position and end the help to buy schemealtogether.

they would return to the situation where only those first time buyers lucky enough to have richparents would be able to afford the large deposits demanded by the banks.

my approach will be dictated by the facts, not by ideology.

and the facts show that help to buy is working as intended.

as the imf concluded last week, it is helping lower income families, overwhelmingly first-timebuyers outside london, to buy homes priced well below the national average.

it is not fuelling house price inflation in london or at the top of the market.

it is helping families, and that is how we intend to keep it.

so today i’ve taken big new steps to protect financial stability, strengthen the new role ofthe bank of england and completed the range of tools at their disposal.

this addresses the economic problem of how we stop rising house prices leading to anunsustainable rise in household indebtedness, and threatening the wider economy.

but it does not address the social problem of how we stop young families being priced out ofthe housing market altogether.

that requires a third pillar to our housing strategy, alongside the clear analysis and newfinancial weapons.

we need to see a lot more homes being built in britain.

the growing demand for housing has to be met by growing supply.

the alternative, as in any market, is that prices will rise so that homes become unaffordable tomany of our citizens and take up ever more of their incomes.

we’ve already taken big steps to deliver those new homes.

we’ve reformed our antiquated planning system.

the changes were hard –fought and controversial, like all things worth battling for in politics,and now they are already starting to work.

last week we saw permissions for new homes rising by 20% in a year.

we’ve got the biggest programme of new social housing in a generation; we’re regeneratingthe worst of our housing estates; and we’ve got the first garden city for almost a centuryunderway in ebbsfleet.

now we need to do more. much more.

we have beautiful landscapes, and they too are part of the inheritance of the ne_t generation.to preserve them, we must make other compromises.

if we want to limit development on important green spaces, we have to remove all theobstacles that remain to development on brown field sites.

today we do that with these radical steps.

councils will be required to put local development orders on over 90% of brownfield sites thatare suitable for housing.

this urban planning revolution will mean that in effect development on these sites will bepre-approved – local authorities will be able to specify the type of housing, not whether thereis housing.

and it will mean planning permission for up to 200,000 new homes – while at the same timeprotecting our green spaces.

tomorrow, boris johnson and i will jointly set out plans for new housing zones across londonbacked by new infrastructure, so that we see thousands of new homes for london families.

and we’ll take the same approach in the rest of the country; with almost half a billion poundsof financial assistance in total set aside to make it work.

now i suspect there will be people who object to new building, even on the brownfields of ourcities.

but let me be clear.

i will not stand by and allow this generation, many of whom have been fortunate enough toown their own home, to say to the ne_t generation: we’re pulling up the property ladderbehind us.

so we will build the houses britain needs so that more families can have the economic securitythat comes with home ownership.

and today i will give the bank of england the powers it needs over mortgages, so that britain’seconomic stability always comes first. and that is what our long term economic plan isdelivering.

lord mayor, ladies and gentlemen,

insisting on the integrity of our financial markets.

confronting the risks from our housing market.

tackling the long term challenge of housing supply.

these are the further actions i take today to ensure that we learn from the mistakes of the pastand build a resilient economy for all.

these last four years have required difficult decisions.

we embarked on the hard task of rebuilding our economy; and making sure our country couldpay its way in the world.

that task is not complete.

our national prosperity is not yet secure.

but if we carry on working through our long term economic plan then we can say withconfidence that brighter days lie ahead.

第12篇 英國副首相克萊格2022年復(fù)活節(jié)英語演講稿

as one of the most significant christian festivals, easter is a time of reflection and renewal. what it celebrates is the moving and powerful story of jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection.

as the poet spenser wrote, “love is the lesson which the lord us taught.”

and the values that jesus lived his life by – compassion, humility and forgiveness – resonatewith people of all faiths and none.

it’s why so many people, both christian and not, use the weeks before easter – the forty daysof lent – to take stock of what is truly important to them and their families. whether that isthrough giving their time to volunteer or going without something in their own lives to helpthose most in need. it all makes a difference.

easter is also a time that many people spend with their families, rela_ing and enjoying thebreak in their different ways.

so, whatever you’re up to this weekend, i hope you have a very happy easter.

第14篇 英國副首相克萊格給2022年穆斯林古爾邦節(jié)英語演講稿

i want to wish eid mubarak to all muslims celebrating eid and a safe journey to those now on hajj.

i know that many of you use this special time to reflect on what’s important to you in yourlives: your family, your friends, your beliefs, your commitment to do the best you can forothers.

it’s also a time to think about sacrifice and struggle – and that is particularly poignant thissummer as we continue to see so many innocent people – muslim and non-muslim – caught upin the ongoing conflicts in syria, gaza and iraq.

it is truly heartbreaking to witness the loss that continues to take place in these parts of theworld. more than ever we need to strive for an end to the violence. we need to unite behindpeace, tolerance, compassion, generosity towards one and other – the values that are at theheart of islam and the heart of eid. today i want to reaffirm my commitment to thosevalues, my party’s commitment to those values, and i want to wish you all a loving andpeaceful eid.
